    Locust Post says "If your wife is fully dressed you need another log on the fire." That may not be a true statement. With the women in this household, I would have to deforest the whole county to get enough wood to make it happen.

    The forecast I'm quoting was on the weather channel and showed some states in the north and east with areas of over 12". That is paralyzing for those cats. Northern maine, n h vermont and tip of ny.

    YMMV

    Saw some low teens past few nights...Right now 28. I have ash, red oak and what I believe is hard maple? Didn't mean to hijack the thread to a wood ID....but was getting curious on what I have...I will have to post split pics. Wood is at 17 to 19 percent MC, and heavier than oak. Leaves awesome coals too...Funny story on how I got it too... 20180914_175958.jpg 20180914_180003.jpg

    Pine on coals from overnight. Supposed to be 60ºF this weekend so the stove will probably be getting some time off.

    We're getting our usual mid-winter thaw. Won't last, of course, and what's left of the snow will turn to our other usual.....a skating rink.
    Snow coming tonight, and sounds like we'll get anywhere from an inch to a foot. :rofl: :lol:
    Most of the bit of snow on the roof last night is gone, as it got warmer as the night went on. 40 now, going to 43, then dropping later.
    No burn, but if I were, it'd be Beech or some small Ash kindling type pieces.
